🌿 Herb of the Week: Cumin Seed (Cuminum cyminum)

Cumin seed is best known as a culinary spice, but it has a long history of use as a digestive herb. Its warming, aromatic nature makes it especially helpful for easing gas, bloating, and digestive discomfort after meals.

Like other members of the parsley family, cumin is rich in aromatic oils. These carminative properties — meaning they help relieve gas and bloating — support smoother digestive function and help prevent stagnation in the gut.

Cumin also plays an important role in Ayurvedic tradition, where it is commonly combined with coriander and fennel seed in the classic blend known as CCF tea — a classic detoxifying formula traditionally used to gently support digestion, detoxification, and metabolism. Cumin has also been used to support lactation and soothe colic.

You’ll find cumin seed featured in our CCF Tea and Stress-Free Digest Tea, where it adds both flavor and support for digestion, detoxification, and metabolism. 🍵

Support around weight and metabolism is something many people start thinking about in the New Year. 🌿

In herbal traditions, this kind of support often comes back to digestion, energy, and balance. Herbs like cumin and cinnamon are commonly used to support digestion, appetite, and blood sugar balance. Others, such as guarana and ashwagandha, are used to support energy, stress response, and metabolic function.

You’ll find many of these herbs thoughtfully incorporated across several of our blends, including CCF Tea, You’re The Man, Love Potion, and Stress-Free Digest. Each is formulated with long-term balance in mind.

🌿 Herb of the Week: Gentian (Gentiana lutea)

Gentian is one of the classic bitter herbs — a powerful digestive ally known for its ability to stimulate the appetite, support healthy digestion, and help the body process food more efficiently. Its unmistakably bitter root has been used for centuries to prepare the digestive system for meals and to encourage smoother overall digestive function.

Traditionally valued in European herbalism, gentian helps activate digestive secretions, ease sluggish digestion, and support nutrient absorption. It’s often relied on when the stomach feels heavy or slow, and is one of the foundational herbs in many bitter formulas used to restore digestive strength.

Though best known for its role in digestion, gentian also carries a long history of broader use — from supporting vitality to promoting a healthy liver. Its intensely bitter taste is part of what makes it so effective, offering a simple reminder that sometimes the most beneficial remedies are the ones that challenge the palate just a bit. 🌿

✨ Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)

A familiar kitchen spice with powerful benefits that often go unnoticed — and a delight when freshly grated, releasing warm, aromatic oils that soothe the senses. Once so treasured that nations fought over the islands where it grew, nutmeg has a long history as both a culinary gem and a valued remedy.

Beyond its flavor, nutmeg is a remarkably potent sleep aid. Traditionally used to ease insomnia and reduce nighttime waking, it helps settle the nervous system into deeper, lasting rest through naturally occurring calming compounds — making it one of the more powerful sedatives in traditional herbal practice.

It also boosts mood by easing anxiety and relieving depression, while gently aiding digestion and soothing gas, bloating, and discomfort. Its antioxidant activity and warming, mildly aphrodisiac qualities further contribute to its long-standing place in herbal traditions.

Used in small amounts, nutmeg offers reliable support for deeper sleep, calmer nerves, improved digestive comfort, and more — and this powerful traditional remedy may be sitting in your kitchen right now. 🌿

Long before Christmas ever existed, winter celebrations like Yule honored the plants that offered life, warmth, and protection in the dark months. Evergreens, resins, winter spices, and aromatic herbs all played a role — as medicine, ritual, or simple comfort. 🌲

Later, in the Christmas story, frankincense and myrrh were offered to the newborn Jesus — gifts chosen not only for their symbolism, but because these resins were among the most valued medicines of the ancient world. Frankincense has long been used for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, improving circulation and offering mood-enhancing aromatic qualities, while myrrh has served as a powerful antimicrobial resin — supporting immune health, wound healing, and oral wellness.

Across centuries and cultures, our winter stories have always been interwoven with the plants that sustained us. 🌿

🌿 Herb of the Week: Wild Cherry Bark (Prunus serotina)

A soothing ally for the throat and lungs, wild cherry bark has a long history of use for easing irritation and bringing comfort when the throat feels scratchy or the chest a bit tight. It’s often used to help quiet dry, persistent coughing through its gentle, calming nature.

With expectorant and astringent qualities, it helps reduce mucus and soothe inflamed tissues, while its mild relaxing effect supports easier, more comfortable breathing — especially during seasonal transitions or dry indoor months.

You’ll find it featured in our Throat Balm Tea — crafted to soothe the throat and support calm, comfortable breathing. 🌿
